“The inspiration for Big Picture Earth has a few sources. Mainly, I really love to wander freely, with time to look and to listen." - Filmmaker, David Conover

Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB)May 11, 2016

CuriosityStream is taking viewers into the natural world with the premiere of original production the 20-episode BIG PICTURE EARTH series that will entertain and educate viewers with brilliantly sharp 4K footage.

CuriosityStream is the premiere online destination for ad-free, on-demand nonfiction documentaries from around the world. Starting today, the global streaming service introduces 50 original 4K Ultra HD titles to the streaming service to be available soon.

BIG PICTURE EARTH is one of CuriosityStream’s first original 4K productions, crafted by David Conover, the filmmaker behind Discovery HD’s hit series, Sunrise Earth. BIG PICTURE EARTH delights viewers with a journey through the most amazing natural landscapes and cultural achievements on the planet. Each episode delivers an ethereal travel experience in one of twenty destinations:

“The inspiration for Big Picture Earth has a few sources. Mainly, I really love to wander freely, with time to look and to listen,” stated filmmaker David Conover. “There have been many television series which visit the historically significant sites that we also visit in Big Picture Earth. But there are concrete ways our series is different from everything else. For each episode, the soundtrack is the natural sounds of the ages - wind, water, life - with an option for music. There’s no narration. That’s different. We shot it in 4K, to maximize immersive potential, and it is also available to the viewer in 4K. That’s different. Lastly, the camera never stops moving, just like life.”

“CuriosityStream’s 4K streaming debuts this month with over 50 titles streaming and and fifty more in production, which will be available soon, ad-free and on-demand, worldwide," said Elizabeth Hendricks North, President & CEO of CuriosityStream. “We’re incredibly proud of the tremendous work of legendary filmmakers in delivering brand-defining documentaries for CuriosityStream. It’s a milestone for our team to share the Earth’s wonders in 4K with a global community of curious minds.”
